Their prices on 07 CTSs are coming in around $1500 below invoice (which translates into the $1500 marketing that is being given by GM to the dealer.
If you are searching locally for a CTS...you might want to try $2000 below invoice and then work your way from there. Or, if you're patient...you will probably be able to get even better deals once the 08s come out...but you will get less to choose from.

You might want to also follow the coversation going at the 2008 Cadillac CTS forum here on CarSpace for more info.
Cadillac of Norwood - The salesman did not realize that the new CTS has 2 engine options (not an exaggeration!) and my references to the FE1, FE2 and FE3 packages meant nothing to him. I noticed that the online inventory listed a CTS with my preferred color, but no reference to the particular FE package - so over the phone I asked the salesperson to check as to whether that particular (in stock) car had FE2 - the response I got back was a faxed handscribbled list of all of the options that the car had (sunroof, etc.), but no reference to the FE package!
Frost Cadillac - Salesperson was knowledgeable about the new model, very professional in the price negotiations and the dealership arranged financing that was .25% better than the best I could find after obtaining my own quotes online. A great buying experience.
I now have approx 500 miles on the car and am loving it. Excellent speech recognition for the audio and nav, great handling, looks sharp, I could go on and on.....
For GM Supplier, go to http://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com
For GM Employee, go to http://www.gmfamilyfirst.com
In either case, select "Build your own" from the "Vehicle Shopping" drop down menu at the top of the page. Build your own vehicle and see the gm employee or supplier discount price.
On the CTS my neighbor bought, the GM employee discount is another $1800! Turns out that I did the math and the discounts break down like this:
GM Supplier: 5% discount on base MSRP (excl. destination), 16.4% on options
GM Employee: 9% discount on base MSRP (excl. destination), 20% on options
Basically, GM supplier is GM employee plus about 4.5%
GM employee seems to be about invoice minus 3%, which is what I believe dealer cost is after the holdback (3% for cadillac).
In case anyone was wondering...

I had same concerns in St. Louis, MO re snow driving with my Lincoln Mk VII. I bought quality winter snow and ice tires, and that Mk VII acted like it was a snowmobile.
Different cars and PU trucks used Blizzaks, Michelin and Bridgestone winter specific tires and I never had reason to wonder about winter driving. We have a Winter Park, CO ski week timeshare - second week in January each year and specifically played in the snow with different vehicles. NO Problems.
Buy the car you want - Put quality WINTER tires on it - and GO MAN GO.

I have no friends who own a GM car. I really appreciate anyone who can refer me to get the discount.

Thanks
The car will not be like AWD, but because it is so well balanced, it will behave as well as any RWD car you've ever driven in the snow. I'm 54 years old and grew up in New England. There was no such thing as AWD, and I managed to live through it. Our family has a 4wd Explorer to get up skiing, but my wife drives the CTS to work every day in Denver when it snows, and only complains a little. I think it runs great in the snow with the winter Dunlops. I think the dunlops are actually quieter than the stock all-season tires. The Stabilitrak (if you have it) is excellent in the snow. We saw a bunch of snow last winter.
I just took delivery of my brand new 08 CTS! (8(o) woo-hoo! I love it!
It is black raven, with ebony interior, with the premium luxury package, and 18" all season tiree performance package, and the upgraded polished aluminum wheels. I think the only thing it doesn't have is AWD, which I didn't want.
My purchase method was done mostly via the Internet, and pretty much matched the one recommended in the Car Buyer Guide I bought on CarSqueeze.com. After informing the dealers that I was aware of their invoice price, knew the amount of the dealer holdback, and manufacture to dealer marketing support, I asked multiple dealers for their best price. (I never said anything about my trade-in.)
Some refused to budge from MSRP. but most responded with a price somewhere between invoice and MSRP. I finally went with a Jennings Cadillac in Chambersburg, PA,who offered me 2k under MSRP, and the standard $500 Active duty discount.
While not a GREAT deal, it was the best offer I had received, and they had the exact car I wanted on the lot, which in itself was a rarity. After accepting the offer over the phone, I drove to the dealership for the paperwork, and negotiate a price for my trade-in, a 1999 BMW 528i with 180k miles on it. Much to my surprise, my salesman informed me that GM was running another incentive, called "Luxury Conquest", where if you were trading in a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc, on your new CTS, you got an additional $1000 off the price!
So- Bottom Line: $42,295, 5k for my trade, to $37,295 and out the door for $39,649. My salesman was a no B.S., very knowledgeable and helpful guy who had been with the dealership about 8 years. At no time did I feel like I was being rushed or bullied, or anything. Of course, I really attribute a lot of that to the fact that I had REALLY done my homework on the car, and conducted the hard negotiating via e-mail, which renders most tricky sales tactics ineffective. Plus, I had arranged a GREAT financing package (5.29%, Pentagon Fed Credit Union) beforehand, which left the dealer with no way to make more profit on me that way.
I am taking my new wheels on a long business trip next week, (2-500 mile legs) and will let you all know how it works out. Hope this helps you in your purchase!
If you do not have to buy now, maybe more dealers will allow supplier discount purchases before the end of the six month period.
First two to email me at traindriver@carspace.com are welcome to have them.
Thanks!
OPTION packages included on your car. Listing them by dealer code would be nice for all of us
Listed sticker price
Actual price paid before any trade-in was deducted (if indeed you had a trade-in vehicle)
In other words the reason for this message board is to give all of us an idea of what bottom line price dealers are willing to sell the new CST Caddie. So please share your pricing with all of us. I am thinking of buying one of these terrific Caddies and would like to know if dealers are wiling to discount them at all and by how much.
A few years ago, I think 2001 or 2002 a dealer here in Maryland was selling the DeVille for $600 under invoice, which at the time was an excellent price. It is my impression that Caddie dealers price or discount their cars according to the perceived affluence in the area of their location. Dealers in rural areas perhaps give higher discounts since they need to draw customers from the city which might require going 25 miles or more to get to the rural dealer. Dealers in the city have a larger number of customers at their door step.
I like to buy from a dealer which is in an area where there are 3 or more dealers for the same car. Competition always bring on lower pricing.
Anyone?
BTW, is there $500 cash back available for Supplier Discount? I thought I saw that on the GM website.
